Ubuntu
openmpi package

No installation candidate for libopenmpi2

Asked by Laurendransfield@gmail.com

I've been trying to install openFOAM on 18.04 and get the following error after sudo apt-get install openfoam6:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 openfoam6 : Depends: libopenmpi2 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried running sudo apt-get install libopenmpi2 and get:

E: Package 'libopenmpi2' has no installation candidate

Any thoughts?

libopenmpi2 is in the "universe" repository. Do you have it enabled in your package management configuration?

What is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt-cache policy

Yeah, I have universe:

lauren@lauren-Z370P-D3:~$ sudo add-apt-repository universe
'universe' distribution component is already enabled for all sources.

You are not running Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), but Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic).

In Ubuntu 18.20 the package libopenmpi2 does no more exist, because it has been replaced by libopenmpi3.

Sorry, typo error, should be 18.10 instead of 18.20

Can you help with this problem?
